Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included in the CR 83179-035 caster wheel assembly?
A: The CR 83179-035 is a complete caster wheel assembly for Crown PE 4000 electric pallet trucks. It includes the 95A polyurethane wheel, integrated shoulder bearing assembly, and all mating washers required for direct OEM replacement. This is a ready-to-install assembly, not just a wheel.
Q: Which Crown models use the CR 83179-035?
A: The CR 83179-035 is specified for the Crown PE 4000 series electric pallet truck. Cross-reference numbers include CR083179-035, 83179035, 083179035, and supersedes CR83179035. Do not use this assembly on PE 3000 or other truck models without confirming compatibility with equipment specifications.
Q: What is the 95A polyurethane specification and what does it mean?
A: The 95A durometer rating indicates the hardness of the polyurethane wheel tread. A 95A compound is mid-range hardness, providing a balance between floor grip and resistance to wear and cutting. Higher hardness resists wear better but reduces grip; lower hardness grips better but wears faster.
Q: Does the CR 83179-035 come with bearings and washers?
A: Yes. The CR 83179-035 includes integrated shoulder bearings and all mating washers configured to original equipment specifications. This eliminates the need to source and install separate bearings or washers, reducing assembly time and ensuring proper fitment to the Crown PE 4000 steering mechanism.
Q: How long does a CR 83179-035 caster assembly typically last?
A: Caster wheel lifespan depends on floor surface, load weight, and usage hours. Typical performance ranges from 1 to 3 years of heavy daily use. Failure symptoms include roughness during turns, a grinding sound when steering, flat spots on the wheel, or visible bearing wear and play in the wheel.
